Kings of Leon - Only By The Night
If anyone in the United States of America or the United Kingdom hasn’t heard of Kings of Leon by now then you must have been living on another planet for the last 12 months! For those of you that have no idea who Kings of Leon are, they are …
Queen - Under Pressure - Single
There is no doubt that Queen are a band for classics and Under Pressure was another from this category. I suppose when your front man is Freddie, who has an audience in the palm of his hand then you can achieve anything you want.
Funnily enough, Under Pressure, I suppose …
IV, 1998 Album by Cypress Hill
I think that Cypress Hill IV is one of the best rap albums in history. This album does not sound flashy. It is not an album that you fall in love with at first sight. But this is an album that is very rich and serious. It is exactly …
Riding with Private Malone
Riding with Private Malone is a song by David Ball about a guy who just got out of the military and buys a 66 Chevy Corvette from an ad in the paper. It describes how excited he was to get his dream car. It talks about how the car …
Shure SHR840 Headpones
I received these headphones almost a year ago during Christmas. Once you put them on your head there is no going back. As somebody who is an avid music listener, my everyday experience with my favorite artists has been forever changed. After several pairs of cheap twenty dollar headphones …
The Colour And The Shape
The Foo Fighters came about when the grunge band Nirvana ceased to be due to Kurt Cobain’s untimely death. I have always loved the Foo Fighters and the relationship to Nirvana has absolutely no bearing on my opinion of this cool band. I have seen them in concert as …
With Teeth 2005 Album by Nine Inch Nails
I have been an avid listener to Nine Inch Nails since I was about twelve. In actual fact, it would be more correct to say that I was a fan of this band from about twelve to about fourteen years of age. And the reason why my interest in …

John Legend - Ordinary People
I have seen John Legend before, during one of his duet performance with Mariah Carey in one of the award show, but he did not really strike me as an outstanding singer until I heard his song - Ordinary People.
I was practically speechless when I first heard it played …
Muse - MK Ultra (Song)
MK Ultra is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. MK Ultra starts out in a very electronically-driven sound and basically keeps this throughout most of the song. The lyrical topic of the song deals with a CIA operation and the basic structure …
Sarah Brightman
I don’t know how I can exactly describe it but when I listen to Sarah Brightman’s song, it seems you are immersed in very cold water. As if the water has ice all over. Her voice is …
“Justified” Album by Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake’s “Justified” is a pretty good album, in my opinion. I was a huge fan of N’Sync back in the day so I will be the first person to tell you how much I hated the thought of any of the five members of that boy band becoming …
Michael Jackson Beat It
This is one the most appealing attitude song from Michael Jackson’s ( MJ) Album BAD. Michael Jackson has had got everything right in this one. MJ is known for his songs against apartheid, and he has consistently given an artistic expression to his bitter experience(s) through songs like …

Letter to Me by Brad Paisley
Brad Paisley always sings the most humerous and light-hearted songs I have ever heard in country music. This song is a light way of saying that when you are young, you really don’t know what you are talking about. And for once in my life, I agree. When I …
Suicide Silence - The Cleansing (Album)
I have been listening to this album for over a week now. I even listen to it in bed before I sleep. The reason for this is very simple. It’s brilliant. Where do I even begin to review this band? First of all they call this genre Deathcore. I …
Green Day - Stuck With Me (Song)
Stuck With Me is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Insomniac. Right from the start, you certainly get hit with that traditional Green Day sound of distorted power chords played in a repetitive structure. I don’t mean for this description to sound unpleasant or anything, …
Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle (Song)
The Purple Bottle is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their album Feels. For those of you who were disappointed with the very relaxed sound present throughout the previous track, Flesh Canoe, The Purple Bottle will not disappoint.

What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo
What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo is a very lovely song and Chrisette Michele, with her powerful vocals, totally sweep me away with this song. What You Do is the title given and Ne-Yo adds a touch of class as well. It is just awesome …

Elvis Presley: Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite
If you remember 1973, odds are you remember Elvis Presley. The King released Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite in that very year. There’s some great songs on this classic live album. And you get to hear Elvis’ voice at its finest, when he’s live and really singing to his …
You Don’t Even Call Me By My Name by David Allan Coe
You Don’t Even Call Me By My Name by David Allan Coe is a classic song to me. I used to think this song was done by Johnny Cash instead of David Allan Coe. Maybe they both did the song, I’m not sure. Either way it is a great …
Sting song
Sting is a very famous singer in the world. But in China, most of people don’t know him well or even don’t hear his name. As a Chinese, I heart his name from the film ‘Leon-The Professional’. Sting sang the theme song ’shape of my heart’ about it. I …
Bob Dylan - Talkin’ New York (Song)
Talkin’ New York is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. Something I should point out is that this is the first Dylan composition ever released on any of his records and along with one other original on this record, this is the only …
Music Video of Love Game by Lady Gaga
Love game is the third single of the album “The Fame” by Lady Gaga. It is an electropop song that is very successful in charts.
The music video is so scandalous that some channels banned it. I think this video is so amazing and joyful. I can feel the inspiration …
Metallica And Lou Reed - Pumping Blood (Song)
Pumping Blood is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the third track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with a melodic string section, the introduction is nice enough but it unfortunately feels disjointed from the rest of the track once Metallica comes in with the …
Dimmu Borgir (band)
I am one of those people who used to think that there was nothing better than death metal in its purest form. However, when a friend of mine recommended the Symphonic Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir to me some years ago, I began to reconsider that notion because as …
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat CD
This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …
Cheap Seats : Truth and Soul Sessions EP
Sometimes, the best things are found in the strangest of places. From the midst of the often incredibly angsty underground music scene comes a completely unexpected ray of sunshine in the form of a band with a typically ironic name — Cheap Seats.

Speak Now album by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s CD called Speak Now is of the country genre but is versatile and integrated into the pop genre too. It is available at any store that sells music, but I would recommend going to Target to pick up a Deluxe Edition for $14.99. Taylor Swift is a …
The Doors - Touch Me (Song)
Touch Me is a track which appears on The Soft Parade, an album by The Doors. Aside form the brilliant introduction to the song, I think something which a listener will notice right away is the instrumentation of this track. Touch Me features instruments which are certainly outside the …
Iron Maiden - Fates Warning (Song)
Fates Warning is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album No Prayer For The Dying. The track starts off with a clean guitar part with a melodic lead played over it which is a nice start to the track and actually not a way that Iron …
Aurore Rien - A Split Penion Seraph
Aurore Rien is a tragic story. An american shoegaze band that only got to do two albums before they broke up as a band. A Split Penion Seraph was part of their first album and is in my opinion their most memorable. It has an hypnotic character, combining sweet …

On Letting Go - Circa Survive

Lungs by Florence and the Machine
It has been a while since I have been pleasantly surprised by a musician or a band, which is why I was so happy to discover Florence and the Machine. Much like so many good musicians over the years, Florence Welch hails from the UK and brings …
It’s a Sin (song) by Pet Shop Boys
It’s a Sin is one of the best known of all the Pet Shop Boys’ 1980s smash hits, and although it is perhaps not quite as famous now as it was in its heyday, it is still an excellent track that I feel is more than worth a listen. …
Famous in a Small Town by Miranda Lambert
I have known about this song for a while now, since it came out a few years ago. But I had no idea that it was by Miranda Lambert. The only time I had ever heard of her is when she won the award for best female video at …

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
Monstrously succesful, an absolute legend, constantly on the charts, Pink Floyd’s undisputed masterpiece. These could be the adjectives with which this record could be described with. Other than these, it’s probably one of those rare albums, where the concepts and ideas expressed touch not only one person, but it …
Houses of the Holy
Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy is one of the bands greatest accomplishments. The mellow blues styling mixed with the energetic rock and roll makes for a truly enjoyable and uplifting musical experience. Not only is every song perfectly orchestrated, but the overall flow of the CD and …
Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith
